In a café just off I-65 I seen a man
And a woman and a baby child
They were laughing,
Smiled at me when they went to pay

And the way she was talking
About her two little girls
That they were all headed
Down to Disney World
When she broke out the pictures
That was all I could take

Get a little too close to home
And I’m so far from you
Yeah I’m so far from you,
Too close to home
And [bad word] back to you
When there’s ever good reason to

At a rest stop just off 40 East
I pulled out to get some sleep
I seen some little kids
Were playing some ball

I woke up when a fly ball hit my hood
little kid on the playground
Hit it too good
I said enough’s enough
I had to give you a call

Get a little too close to home
And I’m so far from you
Yeah I’m so far from you
Too close to home
And [bad word] back to you
When there’s ever good reason to
Too close to home
****
Everywhere I look I see
Something else reminding me
I don’t really have to be alone

It’s hitting too close to home
And I’m so far from you
Yeah I’m so far from you
Too close to home
And [bad word] back to you
When there’s ever good reason to

Hitting too close to home
Too close to home
Too close to home
Too close to home.
